Hope you're still lurking NR
Well written mate.
Those of us who have contributed for the whole of our working lives are being swindled and defrauded by the System.
We obedienly paid in on the premise that we would be similarly looked after as thos benefiting from the contributions we made.
An now some fuckwit little weasles are wriggling their way out of the moral contract that existed between us and our Government by changing the small print such that our generation will have to retire later ( ie more of us will die off before we can claim), and now they have the audacity to propose that our eventual payout will be inversely proportional to what was contributed????
In stead of penalising true WORKERS, they might do better to simply cut off all payments to the feckless scroungers and benefit cheats.
The rule should be simple: A person can take out of the system as much as they've put in. That's how banks used to work. Once they've exhausted their contributions, the message is very simple:-
"you're on your own now sunshine.....here's a simple brchure to tell you what to do next.....
Its very simple, you have three choices to make
1. You can work, and live off your earnings
2. You can scrounge off friends or family,
3. You can bugger off and die....... and don't expect us the long suffering UK working population to dig a hole to bury you in either!"
But of course nothing's going to change. The reason the whole corrupt System continues is because politicians are too shit scared of losing their seats (and nice incomes) by making any attempt to repeal it. its not their money that they are squandering, its ours and we are just too bloody complacent to do a damned ting about it.
Do I sound just a little bit pissed off? You bet I am.....
Well said LS, I couldn't have put it better myself.
